Study Reveals That Regular Sex Has One Major Health Benefit For Women

Researchers from the University of California documented the sexual activity of 129 women between 20 and 50, before taking blood tests to determine their long-term health prospects.

They found that participants who had regular sex had significantly longer telomeres – the protective caps on the ends of DNA that can predict a person’s biological age.

Without these telomeres, DNA strands become damaged and their abilities diminished. Shorter telomeres have been associated with ageing, disease and higher risk of death. So basically, the longer they are the longer you’re likely to live.
